France once again...


It is official... I am getting ready for another trip to Paris in a few weeks and we are bringing back our first container.  I am a little nervous I will admit but excited at the same time.  We will stay in Paris and shop the flea markets there for the first week mixed with much site seeing and relaxing around the city, then it is off to Normandy to shop with Sharon from My French Country Home.  I am so excited to see her again and experience a bit more of her amazing everyday life!

These are just a few of the photos that we snapped on our last trip, some you may have seen and some are new.  I was just going through them and thought I would share some of my current favorites with you.  I have a few more posts lined up from our last adventure to share before we leave too!

Light and bright..


I hope you had a lovely weekend.  We spent most of our time outside as it was just beautiful out.  It was nice to not have any plans and have a chance to recharge and daydream a little.  

Another busy week planned here and I feel like I am ready to tackle it!  Bring on Spring I want some more beautiful weather and inspiration please!
I pulled a few light and bright pictures to help get you there too just in case (it is Monday after all).   Let's start the week off right.

Concentrate!


I am finding it hard to concentrate on work.  Do you ever have that problem?  There are constant distractions and things that catch my eye.. I promise to be better today! 
I promise to check items off of the list not just read it over and over and pick one item!

Happy Spring!

This week I am totally loving the idea of a little change up with the on coming seasonal shift. A cute new clutch and open toed patent leather sandals, yes please. There is always a little something for the house too, a new entry pendant or great little accessory....

Fresh air..


I think it is about time we opened up the doors and windows to let the fresh air in.  I am so in need of warmer days, we have had some beautiful teases here in California but I need a little more!  
Things here have been so busy and so amazing I cannot wait to share all of the new pieces we have online and some great upcoming giveaways here on the blog!  It is going to be a great couple of weeks as we ease into Spring, I do hope you will join us for everything!

Spring please


Okay I am ready- when is Spring arriving?  We have been working on the plans for our backyard for weeks and I think we may have gotten it all taken care of..  now the really hard part begins - starting the project and loosing all of the beauty of Spring out there.  I am sure the result will be amazing when we can afford the actual plants but until then it may be a little barren!  I love love this piece and I may have to add a little something out there like this to keep me happy!

spring flowers



How I dream of warmer spring days filled with beautiful mornings, flowers and greenery.  I trust you have enjoyed your weekend my friends?  

I love the feeling of this mixed up space, eclectic and still a possible working environment.  I think that the painting makes it for me and the flowers of course.  I am curious how many of you collect little things like this, I know I do although I try very hard to keep it to a very edited version.  I struggle with the old and the new pieces and typically the old pieces win out because they hold more memories even if they are not all my memories.  Do you pick up little things here and there or do you collect along a theme?

Friday again...


  Wow what a week!  I hope you accomplished everything you set out to do!

There was a lot of running around here and I am not sure I actually completed too many things but any type of progress is always good.  I feel for these sweet blossoms on our tree this week.  With rain coming I cut a few branches to bring inside and enjoy.

white tulips..



My goodness did the weekend go quickly?!  I did get my fill of the whole taking care of business though.  Now back to regular work I suppose.

Doesn't it feel good to do a little bit of clean up and organize in your personal life?  Some Saturdays I feel like I spend hours just organizing the mess that my house has become during the week.  Then on Sunday I can take some time for myself, just a smidge though, they certainly don't want me to get spoiled!  

I picked up these tulips for  myself on Friday and finally used one of my favorite little vases. I am so excited for Spring this year and cannot wait for it to warm up and everything to start blooming again, these give me a little something to keep me going.  Usually January is the most difficult month for me to wait through in anticipation of the coming warmer days ahead.  How about you are you ready for Spring to arrive?

Happy Easter!




Easter is one of my favorite holidays.. the memories alone make me smile, egg hunts, flowers, dressing up, See's Candies, seeing all of my family and Spring time in California.  

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with special memories!

Rocq Macarons.. {love}






I stopped by Rocq cafe yesterday for lunch and had an amazing quiche, but I also came home with a box of these little beauties.  I love the Spring colors and these are some of my favorites.  

They make wonderful gifts (I usually eat them all myself though)!

Stop by their shop and see what's new.  Also they are now offering free shipping!

Paris in the Spring...


I am so missing Paris right now..  I love to visit in the spring!  I have had many emails as of late asking to share my favorite places in Paris and France so I thought that I would put together a post this coming week with all of the things that make Paris my favorite city.  

I would love to have you share your favorites too!  I am sure those who are traveling this coming year would like a glimpse into what makes the city so special to so many people. 

Wishing you a dream filled Saturday!


These are the sweet treats that my hubby brought me back from his trip just a few short weeks ago.

Love Laduree....

Gardens of Portugal












I was just remembering a wonderful garden that I visited in Portugal a few years back.  Day dreaming about it really.  It was the most amazing place that I think I have ever been to.   These are just a few pictures of the many many structures that made up the space.  It was something that we just happened upon after lunch one day.  Our waiter at lunch recommended that we go by and see it and we spent much of the afternoon exploring the huge terraced grounds and taking photos. 

It reminds me of the coming of Spring and inspires me to get outside and make some changes!
